1877 $20 PR58 Cameo NGC. This is an only slightly circulated
proof that we would hesitate to call "impaired," as it still boasts
all the attributes and convincing surfaces and full strike of a
proof coin, despite the fields showing a bit of fuzziness from
handling and a few scattered small- to medium-sized contact marks
on each side. The surfaces are bright yellow-gold with a slight
tinge of reddish patina complementing, and the contrast remains
sufficiently clear for a Cameo designation. The proof mintage was
recorded as 20 pieces, but perhaps half that number survive today.
Given the intense demand for proof Liberty twenties, this mildly
circulated specimen will provide an opportunistic entry point for
many bidders that otherwise would be unavailable to them. We expect
astute bidders will act accordingly. Census: 1 in 58 Cameo, 4 finer
